Millions of Americans Are About to Have SNAP Benefits Cut

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Our veterans and elderly should be top priority when it comes to public benefits. As for non-citizen immigrants, no benefits! Benefits should be qualified citizen only! And we need to stop sending taxpayer money overseas.

[@stankythecat6735]

Non citizens don’t get benefits.

[@SimpleWorld08]

You can’t get benefits if you’re not a citizen, DUMB*ASS. Then again, YOU sound like a republican so…

[@evangeline77x]

You need a social security number to qualify for state/federal benefits. A few states have limited emergency programs for non citizens but they have to show proof of legal immigration and residency. These benefit programs are very sparse, only about $200 a month and typically last only about 90 days per household annually, and only families with dependant children qualify (similar to TANF but specifically for immigrants). Non citizens cannot and do not recieve SNAP and other state or federal funded benefits.

Call me a hater. If I couldn't even take care myself, I won't bring another life to the world. Why would you want to see your kids suffer just like you did? The main point is not whether those benefits are going to the poor kids, or under the poverty line. The main point is people don't think and plan before they have kids. The Snap benefits should be distributed exclusively to the elderly and the disabled, if people are being responsible. This is America, not a third world country that it needs labors to work on the farm.

That’s really not a reasonable way of thinking. Yeah I totally get that if you are already in a bad situation, and you bring kids into that, you are the problem. A lot of people though who have kids were in GOOD situations when they had kid’s. Non of us knew we were going to be going through a pandemic. Non of us could see into the future and see that the price of food, rent and other basic necessities were going to go up so much.

@@jasmineshelton759 Anyone, up til about 1990. Since then the cost of flour, shortening, potatoes, rice, corn, eggs, rent, electricity, and all other living expenses have outpaced inflation and become unaffordable to many Americans. These goods were not previously sold for profit. Supermarkets could get by on the markups because shoppers had disposable income for things like greeting cards, baked goods, and confections which *do* have a high markup. But since shoppers' disposable incomes have been drastically reduced by inflation (greed), they no longer have the means to include those high-margin items in their lives, and supermarkets are forced to start gouging on those "staple goods" that it's just not morally right to mark up. This is also why you see gigantic international chain stores with billions in capital like Walmart and Aldi pulling out of low-income neighborhoods. Those stores were never designed to sell bread and eggs. They were designed to sell silicone salad tongs and imitation butter cookies in metal tins that cost them virtually nothing and are almost 100% profit. They can no longer remain viable because *the people are no longer viable* and that's a much worse problem for us than it is for Aldi. None of us can afford to bring kids into the world. That's why birth rates are plummeting all over the developed world. It's why Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are terrified there won't be enough minions to fill their planned city-sized factories.

If you check USDA’s budget, you may be surprised to see that food stamps (now SNAP thanks to Michelle Obama) are the largest single item, followed by industrial farm subsidizes. Treatment for the chronic illnesses listed are paid through HHS for those on SNAP as well. So, the overall picture is quite ugly. USDA pays industrial farmers to over produce, then pays people to over consume, and HHS pays big pharma to manage their chronic illnesses; and more recently the CDC has abandoned evidence based medicine to imposed ineffective restrictions on health people to prevent an overwhelming of the US medical system due to the burgeoning population of the chronically ill. In the past, this merger of corporate and state interests had a name, but it’s been so misused a new term has been coined: stakeholder capitalism.

@@goddess3274 That's grossly inaccurate. To qualify for basic food benefits (which are typically only $150-200 monthly and barely enough to survive on) you have to have meet a gross income limit and have no assets worth more than the total limit (so the state will verify recipients are actually living below the poverty line). And as of the early 2010s most states have been requiring single adults to show either proof of employment or participate in a vocational training program and attend interviews weekly, just to recieve basic food assistance. So it's not just free money for "lazy people". To qualify for basic cash assistance (which is no more than between $200 and $305 monthly, which is not enough live on anywhere in the US) you have to show proof of employment or medical proof of inability to work along with meeting other basic income requirements. The % of food stamp/benefit fraud is less than 10% of total recipients, the majority are homeless or suffering from clinical SAD/other mental health issues and generally are people who legitimately qualified for benefits but misused them by either selling the cards for cash or trading them to others (which the state does bill for, so if a person fraudulently recieves food benefits for a year they have to pay back every dime recieved. The government does not play with benefit fraud). There is no rampant benefit fraud in the US and the benefits provided are so miniscule and typically require quarterly renewal and active participation in social welfare programs, that exploiting the system for personal gain is essentially completely pointless and almost impossible to do.

[@lindzexposure530]

Because she can draw cash aid and get benefits for every child she has! Her and the kids get free health care, free groceries, free formula, free cellphones and tablets, cash in her pocket, and super cheap housing …. The more kids you pop out the more free stuff you get. That’s why they do it.

​@LindzExposure Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe this mom wasn't properly educated about birth control because Republicans keep defunding those programs? Or how about access to abortion?

You're really something special and I hope you know that! And I don't mean it in a good way either! Aside from rebuffing your meaningless personal attacks, ALLOW ME to educate you on HISTORICAL/DATA facts since you seem quite knowledgeable in that regard (even though you haven't demonstrated a thing other than a 3rd level political bias/tantrum/frustration). Since I am a data analyst, let me school you with some knowledge that even someone with a high school level education can understand. Fact 1: Ronald Reagan, when in office preaching about his ridiculous Reaganomics which never worked BTW, tripled the debt Fact 2: Bush 41 added as much debt as Reagan in a single term Fact 3: Bill Clinton added the least amount of debt in 40 years Fact 4: George W Bush doubled the debt and took deficit spending to 2 Trillion Fact 5: Obama added 8 trillion, BUT LOWERED THE DEFICIT spending by 2/3rds FACT 6: Trump added THE MOST DEBT THAN ANY PRESIDENT BY FAR IN A SINGLE TERM!!! Doubled deficit spending his first year!!!!! If you've reach at this point, congrats! By now you should realize that A)Republicans have a spending/debt problem EVERY TIME they took office, B)Republicans are all for "free markets" and deregulation policies (The Latest Ohio Palestine should be proof of your MAGA president protecting corporate interests), C)Democrats have either managed the deficit, reduced it, or even cut it successfully to prevent a meltdown which is obviously the mess leftover from a prior Republican administration: Don't take my word for it though, but feel free to look it ALL UP!!

It's not as simple as that. Republicans and conservatives are the ones cutting sex ed education, and are still trying to dismantle the department of education since its establishment.
